NOTE: If you haven't already done a backup...do one now. I always perform my backups via ROM Manager so I can properly label my backups. If you need to do a backup at this point it will work exactly the same way but it names your backup with time and date information (you can rename the file later)

Here's how to create a backup in ClockworkMod Recovery
From the main recovery screen, go to: Nandroid and then select "Backup"

6) Go back to the main screen (power button backs you out to the previous menu)

7) Install zip from sdcard

8) Choose zip from sdcard

9) navigate to where you have stored the zip file and select it (no need to rename the file)

NOTE: You can do the same thing if you are using SPRecovery (you will need to rename the file to update.zip) but you have to format partitions using ADB shell (there are no menu options to format partitions like there is with ClockworkMod).

Note: after some testing I suggest not using Titanium Backup at all, at least until its updated for GB stability

For those who are interested in getting a clean start when they load the blazing goodness of a ROM, here's how I do it:

1. Purchase the license for Titanium Backup (TiBu) if you don't already have it -- it's worth it -- and go to Batch and use Backup all user apps.

2. Once you boot up, touch the top left, then the top right, then the bottom right, then the bottom left (in a square pattern) of the screen to skip Google sign in.

3. Make sure you have Unknown sources checked in System>Applications.

4. Open TiBu and go into Preferences and make sure you have Force to same location checked (this will then make sure your apps and data are restored to the device and SD card, as applicable, exactly as they were when you did your backup).*

5. Do not restore any system apps or settings, Gingerbread has a habit of going crazy when this is done. It's worth it to just take the time and set everything back up.

6. Run Restore missing apps with data (these will all be missing user (non-system) apps that are in WHITE text) and go through the list to make sure you've got ONLY the items you really want to restore checked. DON'T restore Liquid Tweaks, Liquid Tweaks Helper or Spare Parts if they're on your list. Take your time going through this list, and make sure you have unchecked system apps from prior ROMs or older versions of the same ROM. In addtion to the ones I've already mentioned, some examples from my list that I make sure are unchecked are things like Calendar 2.2, Android Keyboard 2.2 and Music Mod 1.8. These may differ from what's on your list, but hopefully that gives you the idea of the kinds of things you're looking for.

7. Go to Settings>Accounts & sync, Add account and sign in to Google. Make sure Auto-sync is checked and that Sync Contacts, Sync Gmail and Sync Calendar, etc. are checked, and allow them to sync.

8. Make a nandroid backup of this setup BEFORE you start adding themes and kernels -- that way, it's easy to revert back to stock and start over if a theme or kernel messes you up.

If you run across any apps that restore from Market without your data, because you missed them in your TiBu restore, just go into TiBu and go to filters, type the name of the app, and restore data only.

The only thing left is that you'll likely have to set up your widgets again and you will have to restore your ringtone choices in Contacts, Gmail, Calendar and Gtalk.

Is the themes from LFY THEMES compatible with LGB?
No. This a great way to brick your phone.

Is the 1.0 preview themes compatible with 1.1 or 1.2?
No. This is again a great way to brick your phone.

Will LGB appear on ROM manager?
It will as soon as the creators of this app ever gvet back with us as we have emailed them countless times without any answers.

XXX Android app is not working when will you have a patch that will fix this so it will work again?
It is not our fault that android app no longer functional. Please email the developer of that app and ask them when will they release a update for XXX so that it will be compatible with 2.3 Gingerbread.

Downloaded and played with settings. This update is fast! And a lot better on battery. Loving the new lock screen, too! Great job, team!

The preview release was amazing. 1.1 was iffy. I had a lot of issues with it. So far, 1.2 has solved everything, made everything a lot smoother, and saved on battery. Amazing!

And these quick updates are killing me, Liquid! I'm so in the groove of redoing my setup/settings, I did it drunk tonight/right now!

Sidenote; ESPN Mobile isn't working as intended. Downloaded it from the market, has the generic Android icon, not the giant "E" logo like normal. When opening, it doesn't open at the normal home page.
